5 Years Ago...


Five years ago, I wanted a baby so bad.  

Just one baby.  

But it didn't seem possible.  

It was improbable...

In fact, five years ago, I was told "Not this month."  I cried and I cried.

A few weeks later I learned I would be a mother.

And I haven't been the same since...

I know what it's like to want to be a mother and have it not happen.  I think about and pray for those that are going through what I went through - miracles do happen.

I got two.

And to my mom, and both my mother-in-laws, and Mamaw - I appreciate you, I love you, and I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!  I am really missing my Mamaw K. today.  I see some of her in both my girls.  :o)

I know what it's like too. 5 years ago I was praying so hard for a baby also. It was a miserable time for me, month after month of disappointment, tests, etc. But in July of that year, it finally happened! And now like you, I have two little miracles!

Hey, how did Jenna get a hold of Harper's "Duckie"? That's the exact same duck that Harper plays with....er eats....every night in the bath.

What a miracle indeed. I can only imagine the pain and sadness of trying to conceive and having it not happen. So glad you got your beautiful girls. I missed my Grandma a lot o mother's day too. She died shortly after mother's day last year. I think I kind of new it was her last mother's day but its just never enough time, is it?

Thanks for you sweet comments on my blog. I love hearing from you!
